Default Newbie with my first question!

Hi Guys/Gals,

New member from the UK and I have just bought myself a 95 Cherokee and already looking around for bits

Seen some wrangler wheels off of a 2004 with BF goodrich all terrains and I was wondering if they will fit? (details below)

LT235/70 R16 104/101s (all the detail I Have)

Thanks

Si

LOL no, 31 9.5 15 is a 15 inch rim. LT235/70 R16 is a 16 inch rim if you have 16 inch rims then yes u will be able to keep from rubbing finders and binding while turning. the LT235/70 R16 is a 29 apx tire. you can clear 31 inches or axp 74 cm

thanks for the response everyone!

So in short, they will physically fit but are the wrong offset?

I'm pretty sure the wheels wont fit. I believe the newer wranglers have a 5 on 5 lug pattern.

TJs are 5x4.5 pattern (1997-2006) so yes the wheels will fit.

235/70/16 are the same as 29's with a section width of 9.3" and section height of 6.5"

Most factory backspacing is in between 4.5" and 5.5"...you should be fine.
